Historical Narrative
An astonishingly detailed Early Netherlandish double portrait of Italian merchant Giovanni di Nicolao Arnolfini and his wife in an opulent domestic interior in Bruges.
Visual & Curatorial Analysis
"Famous for its microscopic illusionism in oil paint and complex domestic symbolism, anchored by the convex mirror reflecting the painter himself and two witnesses entering the room."
